Output of MIDAS command INTEGRATE/LINE
Hello.
This is to bring to the attention of the MIDAS users and developpers community
that there is some internal inconsistency in the output of MIDAS command
INTEGRATE/LINE (in version 99NOVpl2.2 but the same occured in 98NOV).

Opposite to the above header and to what is indicated in the help, the world
coordinates (for both first and last positions) are displayed BEFORE the pixel
coordinates !

In OUTPUTR, this is now in the order :
xpix first, xpix last, xworld first, xworld last !!!
This is somewhat confusing.
So, it would be nice to :
- display the headers in the right order corresponding to the numerical values
supplied below ;
- supply the output values in the same order than in OUTPUTR (the output order
in OUTPUTR should not be modified to preserve backward compatibility).
With best regards,
